<p>So my D got the exact same composite score on her 2 ACT attempts: 30.</p>
<pre><code> Sitting #1
</code></pre>
<p>English 28<br>
Math 29<br>
Reading 33<br>
Science 30<br>
Composite 30 </p>
<pre><code> Sitting #2
</code></pre>
<p>English 31
Math 35
Reading 28
Science 26
Composite 30</p>
<p>Which set should she send to colleges?</p>
<p>if i really really had to pick, i would send in the second one. That math score is truly exceptional and could take some heat off the science score. And the english score is pretty high too. But my suggestion, would be to take it one more time with some heavy prep, and try to shoot for the high scores all around, because she has proven she can get high scores in every area. If this was superscored (and you might want to check out the "superscore the ACT" threads here in cc), her line would look like this: english-31, math-35, reading-33, science-30. I don't know what the actual composite would be, but i would guess probably 32, maybe even 33. If she can get that in one last sitting, that would be a nice addition to make her very competitive for selectives, and/or merit aid. But do check out the "which schools superscore the ACT" (maybe not exact title) thread, and you might get some info there too. Good luck... :)</p>
<p>sorry... but how come i have to pay for every college i want to send my score to now? i thought you get to send it to 4 colleges for free???</p>
<p>only before u take the test that ur able to send to 4 colleges for free, now it costs</p>
<p>aww man lol and i was starting to like the ACT. i was afraid i was going to do poorly so i didn't send my score to any schools.</p>
<p>you did amazing, seriously you are going to be my so called inspiration for september since your jumps were CRAZY
what books did you use"?</p>
<p>now i'm not 100% sure and you should check the guidelines, but I think you could leave those colleges blank, but you're still allowed after the test (2 weeks???) to fill up those 4 colleges that you want to send the scores to. So if you take the test, and then you feel comfortable about it, then you can list down your colleges. If you felt you didn't do too well, then you can wait until the results come out before you decide. But you lose the four free ones, and you have to pay for each college.</p>
<p>haha i know. i was so happy. i'm a pretty bright kid but i just did not know anything about the ACT when i took it in feb. nevertheless i used The Real ACT Study Guide, sparknotes, and Barron's math II prep book (lol) and i worked on my timing for reading and science.</p>
<p>thanks im definitley gonna use sparknotes if it helpedd</p>
